F-150 and Bronco have a 5×5.5 wheel bolt pattern. Wheel Bolt Pattern: Ford Rangers, Explorers and Mustangs have a 5×4.5 wheel bolt pattern. Mustang Note: Mustang owners have been known to take the left axles from 1990-1992 Ford Ranger 8.8-Inch axles to convert their axles from a 4-lug to a 5-lug wheel bolt pattern, or to replace an axleshaft. It was also used in the 1983-1996 full-size Bronco, and E150 Econoline vans.įord Car Usage: The 8.8-Inch is also used in other Ford products such as Ford Mustang’s, Ford Thunderbird’s, Ford Crown Victoria’s, and their equivalent Mercury and Lincoln products. The exception is the 2002-2003 Ford Explorer Sport which still used the solid rear 8.8-Inch axle.įord Aerostar: The 8.8-Inch axle was used in 2WD 4.0L Ford Aerostars, but the All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) Ford Aerostar was equipped with the 7.5-Inch axle.įord F-150 / Bronco: The Ford F-150 used the Ford 8.8-Inch axle From 1983-2012 except for 5.4L (including Lightning) and some 4×4 super cabs and higher GVWR models which were equipped with the heavier-duty 9.75-Inch rear axle. The Ford Explorer used it until it switched to an independent rear suspension in 2002. The 2003-up FX4 (non-Level II) is essentially the same as the 1998-2002 Off-Road except that a regular Ford limited-slip in a regular 8.8-inch was included.įord Explorer: The 8.8-Inch axle came in Ford Explorers (and Mazda Navajo) in 1990 as a 1991 model year. The 31-spline Torsen 8.8-inch axle came only with the 2002 FX-up FX4 Level II and more recently was a separate option. The FX4 Ranger was introduced in 2002 and always came with 4.10 gears only. Ranger 4.0L Models: The Ford 8.8-Inch axle began regular use in the Ford Ranger starting with the 1990 4.0L models. All 4.0L Ford Rangers are equipped with 8.8-Inch axles.ġ998-2011 Super Cabs: 1998-2011 Ford Ranger super cabs regardless of engine size are frequently equipped with 8.8-Inch axles.įX4 Models: All Ford Ranger 8.8-Inch axles have 28-spline axle shafts except for the 2002 FX & newer FX4 Level II models which had 31-spline shafts. The 1986-1988 (chassis cab) 8.8-Inch axles are distinctive as they are the only 8.8-Inch Ranger rears that have no provisions for a RABS sensor. Ranger Chassis Cabs: Ford began using the 8.8-Inch axle in Rangers around 1986 on ‘incomplete vehicles’ aka ‘chassis cabs’.
